Message    The musique from La Double Vie de Veronique has been haunting me for 10 years now, and only recently have i found a site to buy the soundtrack.

But I am really more interested in the piece that Veronika (Elzbieta Towarnicka) sings before she dies on stage. The original composer of the music is mentioned in the film, after that scene, but I could never hear clearly what his name was. Apparently his works of music were discovered almost 200 years after his death.

Can anyone provide the name of this composer? (It's not Prseisner; he only brought it back to life.)

I want to research the original composer's music and possibly obtain the scores.

merci

Message   First of all, I share the happiness of many people who know their love for this music is shared. Secondly, I'm desperately searching for the meaning of the words that are sung so beautifully. I've seen The dubble life of Veronica at its launch in the cinema theatre, where the lyrics where translated, but unfortunatly, there's no translation on the DVD I bought today. I would be really gratefull if some one could let me what the text of this amazingly beautiful piece of music means. Many thanks in advance!

Message   This is interesting, on the fictional music of Van den Budenmayer. Check this out:

"About a year ago, Krzystof Kieslowski recieved a courteous letter from Oxford University Press. They were in the process of updating their music encyclopaedia, and could he please provide them with some details about Van den Budenmayer, the late 18th century Dutch composer whose music he had featured in his Dekalog, Double Life of Veronique and Three Colours trilogy. Their research had yielded nothing. Kieslowski replied equally courteously that Van den Budenmayer was a fictional character created by him and his composer, Zbigniew Preisner. Soon he received a second letter. Of course they understood his concern to protect his sources, but as this was to be the definitive series on classical music could he please provide them with at least some information. Kieslowski wrote a second letter, reiterating that the score had been written by Preisner, a 19 stone self-taught musician from Cracow. Still they did not believe him. After about half a year of this fruitless correspondence back and forth Kieslowski stopped replying."

Message   I just found the answer right here at this site, under 'composers'. Apparently the composer I was searching for was Preisner's alter ego - a figment. See below:

"The Double Life of Veronique was the big break for Preisner. A beautiful concerto in E minor by a dutch composer, Van den Budenmayer was a most strange mystery as there is not a single word written about him in the history of music. Of course, Van den Budenmayer is just something Preisner had pulled out of his hat, an alter ego."

I would be interested to buy the sheet music for piano. Has anyone here done so, and if so had any trouble obtaining it?
